Chapter 723: That Whole Family Is Dead

Two years of unemployment were enough to strip a man of all his pride.

In the face of reality, all previous glories, titles, and statuses had become irrelevant.

And Gu Ding Wen was at an age where he had elders above and children below; daily household expenses and living costs pressed down on him until he could barely breathe.

At this moment, someone happened to extend an olive branch to him...

Putting himself in the other's shoes,

Yu Dazhang felt he truly had no reason to refuse.

In other words, that was not an olive branch; to Gu Ding Wen, it was a lifeline.

Because he could only work as a doctor, yet his livelihood had been cut off within the country; given one more chance to practice medicine, he certainly would not let it slip away.

It was not enough.

Yu Dazhang always felt something was still missing.

Even if he gave Gu Ding Wen a stable job, it would not be enough to make him take a desperate risk.

The other party must have done something that left him no way back, which is why he was so reckless.

What action could make Gu Ding Wen both grateful to the other party and cut off his own retreat?

If it were me, how would I act... Yu Dazhang, without realizing it, had entered a state of deep thought.

Moments later, he suddenly snapped back to his senses.

Combine kindness with pressure!

The family that falsely accused Gu Ding Wen back then was the entry point.

"Go investigate the family that falsely accused Gu Ding Wen back then."

Yu Dazhang turned and ordered Captain Xu:

"Find out their current situation and whereabouts."

After speaking, he suddenly realized something and immediately added:

"You must verify it concretely; that is, find the people themselves. I want no rumors or speculation."

The moment he spoke, the conference room fell silent at once.

After a moment of silence, Captain Xu also reacted, and he asked cautiously:

"Do you suspect that the family who falsely accused Gu Ding Wen back then has already been retaliated against?"

The reason they had not investigated that family was that they had no direct connection to this case.

Moreover, Gu Ding Wen's files had only been clarified today, so there was no time.

However, from Gu Ding Wen's files, it could be seen that he had no criminal record within the country, so there was no question of him retaliating against anyone.

"It is only a possibility."

Yu Dazhang nodded:

"If the other party is skilled at exploiting human nature, retaliating against someone greedy at their core is very easy."

He did not directly state that Gu Ding Wen had retaliated against that family; instead, he skillfully used the term "the other party" to refer to them, which was clearly meant to carry deeper significance.

Captain Xu could naturally hear the subtext in his words.

Given Gu Ding Wen's abilities, he was not capable of retaliating against that family; even if he wanted to do something, he would certainly have left traces.

Yet he had no criminal record on his person, which was enough to explain the situation.

"Understood," Captain Xu replied:

"After the meeting, I will investigate immediately."

With the case having progressed to this point, the advancement could be described as miraculous.

Yu Dazhang had not even been in S Province for many days, yet he had already captured the three main suspects: Xie Wei, Zhang Qian, and Zhang Jiangke.

Using them as leads, he dismantled the gang's hideouts across the country and rescued a large number of trafficked women.

Such a rate of solving the case left the members of the special task force with no time to carefully ponder the reasons behind it.

In other words, including Captain Xu, they could no longer keep up with Yu Dazhang's pace of solving cases.

Under such circumstances, obeying orders was the only thing they could do.

Even now, they could not understand how Yu Dazhang had thought of surrogacy.

There was no way around it; this was the cognitive bias brought about by the time gap.

Although Yu Dazhang had been reborn from 2024, and at first glance the time span did not seem long, the events that occurred during those nine years were enough to change a person's cognition.

Having used an iPhone 16, then going back to use an iPhone 6—could the feeling be the same?
